We took Oliver to the river yesterday. Now, I am a city girl, and am not much for swimming in a river with rocks and fish, etc., but it wasn't too bad. I didn't really swim, just sat in the water with hubby and Oliver. As soon as we put Oliver in the water, he started to dog paddle! It was so cute! (I forgot my camera) He wanted to be let loose to swim on his own, but my husband, being the protective Daddy, wouldn't let him go.
Ok, side note---I am amazed at the attention Oliver gets everywhere we go. He has now received treats at 2 bank drive thru's, the Donut Palace every Saturday morning, and Chic-Fila. I had no idea drive thru's kept a steady supply of dog biscuits!
Question for all you dog owners out there-do you refer to yourself as Mommy and Daddy to your puppy? I do, but my husband refers to me as Suzy, which is what our nieces and nephews call me. Sometimes I feel weird saying Mommy and Daddy, but dang it, I'm raising him. What do you do?
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this dog? :)
He started training classes last week and the trainer said he was way advanced for a dog his age--he knew everything she tried to teach him at lesson 1. I wanted her to compare him to other dogs his age and my husband started laughing and said we weren't at parent-teacher conferences. :)
So how many of you play Bunco? I am so into this dice game! (maybe cuz there's no skill involved!) A bunch of teachers from my school and then some from other schools near us have a group and we play once a month. This month about half our group traveled an hour and a half away to REGIONAL BUNCO! Yes, there were different groups from all over--around 50 women. It was a luau theme and so much fun! Here are some pics I stole off of Kim's site! This is 7 of our 16 members. (I'm 2nd from the right)
If you are in a bunco group, do you have a theme each month when you play? So far we've done Tailgate Bunco, Pajama Bunco, Valentines Bunco, Go for Green Bunco, Easter/Spring Bunco, and Coffee and Chocolate Night Bunco. This next month we are playing at my house again, but my friend Kim is hosting it--it's either gonna be another Luau Bunco or Flip-Flop Bunco. Fill me in on some of your themes...we're starting to run out!
One last thing--our worship band has a new website with a new cd. Go to http://www.muzzleloadermusic.com/ to check us out!
Have a great rest of the weekend! Stay cool!

Love the pics! And you are so cute about little Oliver! Love that he was doggie paddling. So cute!
So FUN!!! We do NOT use themes...but I am SERIOUSLY thinking of suggesting that next year :)
my doggies are terrified about the water/swimming. they are not fans. ok, we do call ourselves mom and daddy with the dogs and they know exactly what we are talking about!
Love those pics...you know I have never played Bunco. Thats right...I have not. By the way...yes we are mommy and daddy to our puppies. They are our precious boys!!!!!
They would give me my estrogen level when they would call with what to do next etc. They called this morning with the fertilization report, but we just go on Wednesday...they don't tell us the grades etc. like LR did. I am glad they don't I think...just praying God will use these embies to grow and grow!!!!!
Of course! We are momma and daddy to our dogs. If I say to one of them "go get daddy", they run right to him! You ARE Oliver's mommy!
